The Galerie Nathan, located in Zurich, has its origins with the Nathan family of Munich where in about 1913, Otto Nathan began an art handling business. His brother Fritz Nathan [1895-1972] joined the firm in 1922 and remained in Munich following Otto's death in 1930. In 1936, due to the political circumstances in Germany, Fritz moved the firm to Switzerland, first in St. Gallen and then, from 1951, in Zurich. Fritz' son Peter joined the firm in 1953 and continued the business after the death of his father. (English)

Goldschmidt was one of the most influential bankers in Weimar Germany. He began collecting Impressionist art and Old Masters in the 1920s and was also a major patron of Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie. He fled to Switzerland in 1933, and then emigrated to the US, where he died in 1955.A part of his art collection remained in Berlin as collateral for a loan. The Nazis seized it, including the Renoir painting of the Cote d’Azur, in 1941. The work was sold that year at the Berlin auction house Hans W. Lange. It was again offered for sale at Galerie Nathan in Zurich in 1960, and later purchased by the first president of the BDI association of German industry, Fritz Berg. After his widow died, Berg’s collection went to the Osthaus Museum in Hagen. (English)
